Further, CYP1A means CYP1A activity.
  • a larger hepatic tissue sheet was prepared in accordance with the method as shown in Example 1 by laminating the murine hepatic tissue cell sheets on transplantation. Specifically, a group (mark ⁇ in Fig. 6 ) obtained by transplanting one murine hepatic tissue sheet into the murine subcutaneous site having undergone the induction of angiogenesis and a group (mark ⁇ in Fig. 6 ) obtained by transplanting the two sheets thereinto were prepared. With the two groups, the blood human alpha-1 antitrypsin concentration of the transplanted mice was measured up to 140 days after transplantation and evaluation was made by examining the stability of the transplanted tissue and the change of the amount of the tissue. It has been found that with the group transplanted with the two hepatic tissue cell sheets, a significantly large tissue was prepared compared with the group transplanted with the one sheet, and furthermore the tissue stably exists.
  • Utilization of the method of maintaining the function of hepatic tissue cells over a long time as shown in the present invention would enable long-term maintenance of the function of cultured hepatic tissue cells, would enable long-term fundamental research relating to the function of the liver and also would enable production of artificial livers and hepatic tissue cell transplanted animals which require the expression of the function of the liver over a long period of time.
